Mark your calendar. Giving Tuesday is November 28.

On November 28 join us in supporting mental health as we participate in GivingTuesday.

In the same way that Black Friday opens the shopping season, GivingTuesday opens the giving season, uniting charities, companies and individuals in the spirit of giving. Canadians participating in the international Giving Tuesday movement are encouraged to join in, give and volunteer for their favourite cause.

For those struggling with their mental health, the holidays can represent a daunting, overwhelming challenge every year. That’s why CMHA Nova Scotia Division offers support and information to people impacted by mental health challenges and illness – so no one needs to feel alone in their struggle.

You can support CMHA Nova Scotia Division on Giving Tuesday by offering to volunteer your time at by hosting an information booth at an event, or by donating to help us continue supporting the resilience and recovery of those who are experiencing mental health challenges.

Your Giving Tuesday gift will help people move away from the stigma, isolation and loneliness that often follow in the wake of a mental health issue.
